Hey Gang,

I was scouting Google Earth, for new places to fish, the other day and came across a formation in a Lake (Pond) that I simply can't figure out.

There are two "formations" in the lake that have me totally stumped. The closer you look, the weirder they appear.

I'm starting to think I've found Atlantis or some Alien Underwater Base. It may be something less sensational, so I'm asking in hopes that somebody has a SIMPLE explanation.

Take a look: Google Maps - http://maps.google.c...027423&t=h&z=15 (Sorry I can't get the link to centre the lake. When I open it, it is in the upper right. Guess you'll have to drag it to the centre)

I am hoping that someone has an idea or explanation. It may be something simple, but it sure looks weird.

It appears to be the remnants of what "Looks" like a bridge or walkway that has been removed (in two pieces), or possibly destroyed and moved, maybe by Ice.
Seems to be the same width on both sides of the pond, which leads to be believe an old bridge of some sorts?
Amazing what is out there.
A couple years ago while fishing way back in no mans land I decided to walk between one dead water and another. I was a long long ways in the woods. Much to my surprise I came across a old man made contraption, it appeared to be something that might have been used to move lumber from one water way to the next. I was pretty amazed by it and where it was. There was no visible sings of any old roads or people. the forest was rather old
Might get a Pic of it this year when I am in there. When I google the place it does not show up?

Hi Guest,

The triangular shape and size are puzzling. Also, if you look closely, it appears that between the parallel "slash" marks near shore, the water appears deeper (as if it might have been dredged).

As for your "bridge idea", I had thought about that. There is no apparent road or path. The odd angles don't seem to meet up and the size is rather huge. But, who knows? Your guess is as good as mine.

As for finding things in the back country, I too have found some strange stuff when I least expected it. Found an old car so far back once, I still haven't figured how or why it was there.

The symmetry makes it look man- (or alien-) made. If you look further south, you can see the same kind of channel. Would someone have built dykes there and attempted to reclaim the land around the channel formed by the dykes?

Guest,

I pondered this thing long and hard. If you zoom in it gets even weirder. When you zoom out and compare the scale to the roads and other landmarks - these things are huge. I've looked at it on Google Earth as well.

As you say, it is interesting. Appreciate your ideas.

Thanks,

Terran

Paul,

It does definitely look like an "unnatural" or constructed feature. The scale is very large and the angles are peculiar. Can't quite figure the purpose. One points into the lake and is open at the end. The other is opposite (points to shore) and is closed. Yet the angles make it appear that they are not supposed to connect or are perhaps individual.

If you look closely at the "structure" at the top left (of the image), it appears that there are channels (between the parallels) that are deeper than the water surrounding. Almost as if they had been dredged into the bank.

Truly wish the image could be even clearer. Yet, it's got me facinated.

Terran

[pmorris]

Did you look further south? It looks somewhat similar (at least on the west side), but the "structure" is less defined because it's more submerged. But the whole channel has raised sides, which is what got me thinking about dykes.

[Terran]

Paul,

Yeah, I saw those as well. There appears to be some following the south shore, as well as running vertically and horizontally. (Hard to tell - poor image). The straightness of the lines is rather intriguing. Lay a ruler along the line. Almost perfect. If it's a dyke, somebody went to a hell of a lot of trouble. The scale and location are what have me questioning the dyke idea. But, who knows?

There almost appears to be a dam at the very south end. Can't imagine the purpose of the work that went into this.

I'd love to be able to get back there. This is the best puzzle I've had in a while.

Yes, there is what appears to be a dam there. It shows up as a "Marine Hazard" on my Ibycus topo software. Big Meadow Brook is south of the dam.

Thanks Paul.

Also was wondering about the construction of these structures. It almost appears to be concrete. Certainly hard to tell, but the light coloration certainly looks like concrete or some large stone. This thing was a massive project - from it's appearance. Can't imagine it's purpose. The "hash mark" or broken lines are also interesting.

Terran

[Stradicman]

I wonder if the cement company made it.

[perch hunter]

The north of the lake where the structure is, is mon crown land, the south portion is not, perhaps it is a fisheries project?
or something like that.

Stradicman,

But for what purpose? It would cost a fortune. Can't imagine the broken lines are for controlling water. Maybe some purpose for logging? Who knows?


Perch Hunter - Thanks for the co-ordinates. Never thought of that. If it is some sort of Fisheries project it's on a scale I've never seen them take on before. There's a pile of time and money invested in this thing. From appearance, anyway.

Its a Manmade lake there's a dam on it So they were propably there before it flooded!

Hi Terran
Have you been in the area to see the actual location?
Quite a few spots on the Google Maps have something similar if not the same.
Maybe light reflected from something - perhaps a plane?
Interesting though.
Have a nice day

[pmorris]

How about mining? There was a barite mine in Colchester County not too far from there, but it's certainly not the same one:

Mushamush,

No I haven't been back there, but I'd love to be. It appears on Google Earth as well as Google Maps. Might possibly be some anomaly; had given that some thought. However, there appears to be change to the landscape that is consistent with a possible structure.

If you know anyone with access to a helicopter or can task a satellite - for God sake help me out here!

Still think I found Atlantis.

Pmorris,

It's possible that it's a flooded open pit mine, but where are the roads or railway to get the stuff out. This body of water is sitting in a pretty isolated location. Yet anything is possible.

If we were in the U.S., I'd consider a flooded town under a reservoir, but again the size of the structures and the isolation is a detractor. How the hell did they get anything, that size, in there?

Who knows?
